Helicopter High Voltage Cable Inspector
 I've been fascinated by the video of a power line inspector entitled Helicopter High Voltage Cable Inspector. I watched it a while back and ever since I think it about it every once in a while.“If you enclose a man in a metal cage and energize that cage, at whatever voltage, the man would still live. The voltage would flow around him. I wear a hot suit. It's 75% Nomex fire retardant and 25% stainless steel thread. That metal thread means I have a Faraday Cage around me. A half a million volts pass over my body but I can work without interference from the electricity.”Tip of the hat to Kottke.
